@Abraham: srvklw32.exe is a variant of the Bredolab malware. srvklw32.exe is started every time the user logs on to the machine. Another sign of infection is that one of the svchost.exe processes use a large amount of CPU. Do you how the srvklw32.exe malware got onto your machine?

Anyway, here are the srvklw32.exe removal instructions with the help of Freefixer:
1. Install FreeFixer. You can download it here: http://www.freefixer.com/download.html
2. Start FreeFixer and click "Scan". The scan will be finished in about 5-15 minutes. FreeFixer will examine the running programs, drivers, browser plugins, etc.
3. In the scan result, locate srvklw32.exe, and check its "Delete" checkbox. srvklw32.exe should appear under "Autostart shortcuts" in FreeFixer's scan result. Don't check anything else for removal, unless you are 100% sure it's malware.
4. Click "Fix" and reboot your machine.
5. Start a FreeFixer scan again.
7. Go through the scan result and verify that srvklw32.exe no longer is listed.
8. Done.

Did this completely remove srvklw32.exe? Did it also solve the chrome and network problem?

Thanks a lot! You have resolved my problem.

One thing: if we had a computer infected by srvklw32.exe the CPU is near 100% of usage and scanning goes on for 2-3 hours.

Freefixer completely removed this malware from my computer.

>Do you how the srvklw32.exe malware got onto your machine?

That's exactly what's bugging me. I considered (past tense) myself a careful user for many years, running Vista with UAC activated + Microsoft Security Essentials. I've stayed away from pirated software since a long time, using available open source software instead. I also am not the type to click on those 'free emoticons for msn' ads. That all said, I discovered my computer still got infected with this srvklw32.exe trojan. Indeed I got triggered by the svchost process that would consume 100% cpu every now and then. That, and MS Sec. Essentials alerted me that TrojanDownload:Win32/Cutwail.BA and PWS:Win32/Daurso.A were found on my machine. After inspecting the CPU-hogging svchost.exe process with process explorer, I found out it had an active connection with a server having an ip (80.77.151.203) related to russian domains that belong to, I believe, the more shady part of the internet. I suspect that the remote server uploaded the other malware to my machine, which MS Sec. Essentials was able to detect.

As far as I can tell, I haven't done anything obviously stupid that would guarantee a trojan to be installed on my machine. The only installers I can remember having given the green light around the same time as my CPU-hogging problem roared its head (9, 10th of july) is an update of Firefox (now running 3.6.6), together with updates of some Firefox add-ons. I'm not sure which one it was. I have AdBlock Plus, Foxyproxy Basic, SyncPlaces and ForecastFox installed, so it must've been one of those. I also updated VirtualBox from 3.2.4 to 3.2.6. Oh yeah, and in the week preceding, I updated Picasa to 3.6.0.

I wanted to check whether I installed something else, a driver or something, and I found out that all my restore points in system restore are gone. Clever malware.

Well hope this helps to shine some light onto the matter. I still am pretty clueless...

I got this virus late on Saturday night (July 9th), and discovered it the following day when I started my PC.

One of the svchost.exe processes was running at 100% CPU, and killing it rebooted my machine. I noticed srvklw32 and a couple of other items in my startup. I tried to clean it up manually, without much success ... even though I found the registry entries. I ended up buying prevx as that was the only software that would cure it at the time.

Check for file c:\windows\system32\drivers\gdbnc.sys. This file remained hanging around on my system, and is also some sort of virus. I couldn't get rid of that file until last night's MS Malicious Software Removal Tool update was applied ... then it was cleaned instantly. I then manually removed the legacy_gdbnc entries in the registry (I searched the registry for gdbnc).

I'm still not convinced my computer is fully cleaned, though. I'll give freefixer a go when I get home.

I got infected by routine internet surfing of perfectly legitimate sites (honestly!!! - LOL). My Avira AV product detected a number of viruses, but this one (being new) slipped through the net.

I hope that's a useful addition to this thread.

I had the same issue, svchost.exe was consuming 50% of the memory all the time. At first I thought it was some corrupted software. I tried uninstalling software (Avast Antivirus, Citrix, GTalk) etc one by one, This did not make any difference. Then i tried disable a lot of services in safe mode, this did not work too. This is when i found srvklw32.exe in the Hijack This log. After removing it svchost.exe is normal, but the system is still slow. Sometimes alg.exe crashes on startup or svchost.exe crashes.

Any idea if there is something else left behind. BTW i think this is a pretty scary virus/trojan. Im a safe user and don't usually download any junk, Not sure how this enetered my system. My best guess would be from some Java Applet in a website....

Raj, in answer to your question ... maybe, I'm a bit suspicious of that. Check for this file c:\windows\system32\drivers\gdbnc.sys.

If it's there, the latest update to Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool cleared it - I was unable to delete it in safe boot. Oh, I'm running XP SP3.

I'm currently doing regular scans with Avira Antivir, SuperAntiSpyware and Prevx.

Hi. Thanks for the info.My PC was running at 100% constant.Couldn`t delete the file as it was in use.Scans were taking hours. So removed the hard drive, put it in a caddy and put it on another machine. Now I knew what I was looking for I was able to delete it. Put the drive back in the original machine.Seems to have cleared it. Free fixer took minutes to scan and showed clear.
Thanks for your help.
Regards

@Lyndon, Thanks for your reply. I looked in the Windows\System32\Drivers directory and the file is not present. Maybe its time to re-install windows now :(

Ok, now I'm stuck...I deleted based on instructions above. It sees to have completely crashed my system. I can barely open IE and have to do so with add-ons disabled. I cannot open Chrome or Firefox. I did manage to get my Mozilla Thunderbird open and email downloaded. What did I do wrong?? HELP!!

@Raj. I think that file was a one-off ... maybe a specific (random) name for my PC as I cannot see it mentioned elsewhere on the web.

Reinstall Windows? LOL ... great minds think alike, mate. I might just do that myself this weekend ... last reinstall was three and a half years ago, so it wouldn't hurt.

I too remember seeing the java icon pop up on my task bar when I didn't expect it. I was looking for a pdf file, so it might have been one of those pdf search sites that starts a java applet? Not sure which one it was though, and I reinstalled that machine just to be sure.

@y-c: Did FreeFixer pop-up some error message when the scan was stopped?

@travel nurse: It's possible that there's some additional malware that interferes with your computer. If you like you can post a FreeFixer log at the forum, and I'll have a look at it:
